2011 Daily Press all-star football team

OFFENSE QUARTERBACK - Alex Johnston - York - senior. His stellar senior year for the district champion Falcons included 1,860 passing yards for 21 TDs, and 552 rushing yards and 14 TDs. RUNNING BACK - Tony Pittman - Phoebus - junior. After missing the first three games to a suspension, "Pitt-Bull" ran for 1,577 yards on 273 carries - per-game averages of 131 and 23. RUNNING BACK - Will Capers - Lafayette - senior. Fullback was the go-to guy in the Rams' Wing-T and won a second consecutive district rushing title with 1,371 yards and 18 TDs. RUNNING BACK - William Emeny - Poquoson - senior. A big year for the two-way first-team all-district pick included 1,239 rushing yards and 20 TDs, along with 125 tackles at LB. RECEIVER - Romond Deloatch - Phoebus - senior. His numbers - 40 catches, 821 yards, 9 TDs - are impressive enough. Then factor in that he played in a Power-I offense that runs three-fourths of the time. RECEIVER - Rashawn Proctor - Bethel - senior. He became only the fourth receiver in PD history to break 1,000 yards. Finished with 49 catches for 1,013 yards and 12 TDs. RECEIVER - Willie Davis - Bethel - senior. As good as Proctor was, Davis actually led the district in catches with 50. His went for 772 yards and 11 TDs. LINE - Andy Ruckman - Woodside - senior. After making second-team all-state as a junior, Ruckman had another solid year blocking in the Wolverines' Wing-T offense. LINE - Roc Jackson - Phoebus - senior. A two-year starter at left guard, Jackson was vital to the Phantoms' success up the middle. A consistent blocker. LINE - Win Homer - Christchurch - senior. The 6-foot-5, 255-pound tackle committed to Boston College in May, then led the Seahorses to the state independent Division II title. LINE - Hayden Crockett - York - senior. The Falcons' offense hovered near 40 points and 400 yards much of the year, thanks in large part to a solid line led by the 6-4, 305-pound FCS prospect. LINE - Nick Kepa - Lafayette - senior. The four-year starter at center repeated as an all-district and all-region pick despite tearing a knee ligament in Week 2. ATHLETE - Donnell Lewis - Woodside - senior. He didn't produce the greatest stats at quarterback (1,490 yards, 14 TDs), but he was a constant threat - especially in the fourth quarter. KICKER - Chris Moller - Woodside - senior. Going 0-for-4 vs. Bayside was a bummer, but it doesn't subtract from his PD-record 13 field goals in 16 attempts during the regular season.

DEFENSE LINE - Devin Claiborne - Kecoughtan - senior. Was moved from linebacker to defensive end, where he blossomed into one of the PD's best. He had 11 sacks. LINE - Dallas Cogdell - Hampton - senior. Undersized in the middle, but thanks to superior quickness and strength, he rarely had trouble. LINE - Dylan Stallings - Grafton - senior. Almost half of the JMU-bound Bay Rivers District Defensive Player of the Year's 68 tackles (31) were for loss, including 11 1/2 sacks. LINE - Peter Park - Grafton - senior. The other half of the Clippers' dynamite D-line duo had 66 tackles and an interception, forced four fumbles and recovered two en route to all-region honors. LINEBACKER - Justin Lyles - Phoebus - senior. The latest in a long line of Phantoms defensive stars had a team-leading 166 tackles and five INTs. Called "Boom Box" for a reason. LINEBACKER - Kavon Bellamy - Hampton - senior. He played all year on a bad ankle, but it didn't slow him down on defense. Was always around the ball. LINEBACKER - Jimmy Evans - York - senior. Small (5-8, 165 pounds) but effective all-region selection had 173 tackles and forced six fumbles. LINEBACKER - Dylan Hill - York - senior. After running for more than 1,000 yards and making 120 (often jarring) tackles, he'll play in college on the FCS level. BACK - DeShaun Summers - Phoebus - senior. Finished the season with 50 tackles, nine coming in the state championship game. Also intercepted four passes, including a pick-six. BACK - Dezmond Jenerette - Hampton - senior. Crabbers coach Mike Smith says Jenerette was the best defensive back in the Peninsula District this season. BACK - Anthony Honey - York - senior. The Falcons' Mr. Everything returned one of his six interceptions for a TD, forced two fumbles and made 115 tackles. BACK - Marcus Spearman - Grafton - junior. The Clippers allowed a district-low average of 66 passing yards, and Spearman, who had four interceptions, was a big reason. PUNTER - Jacob Vaught - Lafayette - senior. Netted a 39.6-yard average punting with a rugby style, in addition to making 10-of-14 field goals and 44-of-45 extra points. RETURNER - Thomas Smith - Lafayette - senior. Virginia Tech-bound receiver scored his 17 touchdowns in a handful of ways, including a punt and kickoff return. Had 36 receptions for 843 yards and 13 TDs.
